Report CS15943

Under the approved capital programme procedure, capital schemes were required to be subject to a post-completion review. The report provided Members with a post works completion evaluation for Bellegrove in terms of the refurbishment work and operational performance for Bellegrove as temporary accommodation provision for homeless households.

The Care Services Portfolio Holder commented that the scheme was a resounding success and the financial model had produced the savings anticipated. He accepted that the accommodation was not to luxury standards and that some residents were dissatisfied, but it did provide much needed local temporary accommodation to meet statutory housing needs. Officers confirmed that no formal complaints had been received, and where concerns had been reported these had been investigated.

RESOLVED that the contents of the report be noted.
